Ebor House is a superb Victorian semi-detached property, refurbished and maintained to a very high standard by the current owners.
Ebor House has been run as a successful B&B for the past 70 years, sitting in an excellent trading position on the edge of the popular market town of Hawes. The present owners have a thriving business and outstanding reviews with many returning guests. They are operating a low intensity business which can easily be expanded.
Hawes is a busy town at the top of Wensleydale, famous for its cheese as well as the stunning surrounding countryside. The town holds a weekly open market and offers a wide range of shops, pubs, restaurants & cafes, as well as a church, doctor's surgery and primary school.
The house was built at the end of the Victorian era and the high ceilings and spacious accommodation reflect the period. It retains many original features with wide halls & landings, turned staircase and beautiful ceiling coving & cornices. It has been updated with double glazed windows throughout, a new heating & water system and electric smoke alarms. The quality of the decor, fittings, furniture & furnishings are exemplary.
The accommodation is spread over three floors and offers 8 bedrooms, 5 modern, ensuite bedrooms are being let out. All the letting bedroom furniture & fittings are included in the sale. At present the owners have private use of a separate lounge, three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The ground floor welcomes you in with an attractive entrance hall, original floor tiles and high ceiling. There is a large modern kitchen/diner and a spacious light dining room for guests to enjoy.
The property also offers an extensive range of cellar rooms, all with flagged floors and separate external access. These rooms could easily be developed to provide additional accommodation.
They currently run their business from Easter to October to enjoy a well-earned break, though the accommodation could be available all year round which would increase income potential. Room rates are high £125 per night, and owners do not take single nights, pets or group bookings.
Ebor House offers an excellent opportunity to run & develop an already successful business in the Dales.
